Former New York State Assemblyman Daniel L. Feldman and political scientist Gerald Benjamin look at how laws and public policy are made in New York State. Drawing on Feldman's years in the Assembly (1981-1998), the book follows four battles over public safety policy in the 1980s and 1990s: organized crime control, the Rockefeller drug laws, sex offender notification and gun control. The authors also consider how the legislature might recover the professionalism it once had.
This copy is signed and inscribed by both authors.
